• It's 2018
• Gives people a chance to learn about you/your work without meeting in person
• Designated place to store professional materials

• There are many other options to make a website
• This follows Yihui Xie's book online available here

• recent version of R/Rstudio installed
• GitHub account

Bonus points!!!!

• recent copy of a CV (in .pdf)
• short bio
• picture
• blogdown R package installed

## Install from CRAN
install.packages("blogdown")
blogdown::install_hugo(force = TRUE) #also need Hugo
blogdown::hugo_version() ## check this returns current version

See this issue here

Essentially, go to terminal and enter (only checked for macOS):

rm -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/Hugo/
rm -r /usr/local/Cellar/hugo
rm -r /usr/local/bin/hugo
brew reinstall hugo #(or blogdown::install_hugo(force = TRUE) 
#might work ) # need homebrew for this

• First make a new project
• In RStudio: File > New Project…

In the new project run:

blogdown::serve_site()

• This is sort of the floorplan of your website
• Take a few minutes let's change basic things like name, title, show how to add delete sections
• Add photo (put image in static/img/portrait.jpg)
• Add CV (add cv to static/files/cv.pdf and uncomment lines in config.toml)

• Update content/home/about.md
• Delete content/home/(hero stuff)
• Go to R and run:

file.create('public/.nojekyll') #Need this to put website on GitHub

cd public
git init
git add .
git commit -m "First commit"

git remote add origin <paste>
git push -u origin master

Change files

cd public
git add . 
git commit -m "description of update"
git push

ssh <username>@stat-remote.stat.wisc.edu
cd public/html
nano index.html

copy and paste this into your editor:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; 
url=https://<github-username>.github.io" />

<p><a href="https://<github-username>.github.io">Redirect</a></p>

save file and visit stat.wisc.edu/~[stat-username]
